RATPAK

 

The History

 
     
The Ratpak came to life in the 2000 Carnival held in Hobart
 

 

The four of us were always together eating and drinking (Hugh Barker, Jim Potts, Ken Follett and Barrie Nicolle), much to the disgust of the coach Mark Doyle, but that was the only side SA took to the Carnival that year (Seniors). 
       
One night we were having fun when Mark came looking form us, we were stuck in the corner of he pub, he called out to us “you’re just a RAT PACK”, from then on we became the Ratpak and I got my son to design us a logo, which got people talking so we decided to continue the practice and inducted more rats.
       
 

The ideals of the Ratpak is for the inductees to put MAFSA Superules before themselves, to raise money where possible to help out other MAFSA Footballers or their families (e.g. if someone is injured away and needs a flight back quickly or if sickness in family we maybe able to assist financially).  We have started slowly and are building stronger every year.  The Ratpak wishes to be part of MAFSA folk law, and also to have lots of fun…..
